For Parents

There is no career more rewarding than teaching. There is a critical shortage of math and science teachers across the United States, so your daughter or son should have no trouble finding a position. There are federal, state and university scholarship opportunities for students intending to teach, especially those in shortage areas and those interested in teaching in a high needs area. Salaries for beginning teachers are competitive with other entry-level positions, but the impact an excellent teacher makes on his or her students is priceless.
